For the last few books I haven't even had to go to Word and do the space and backspace thing and they have uploaded just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mayrie ReNae" <mrenae@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Jim,

I think that Open Book users have troubles all their own.

Actually, I really really liked Kurzweil 1000 until this version. Is this the first version of K1000 that you have ever used? I only ask, because in my moments of most frustration, I consider going back to using version 9 which didn't massacre rtf documents created any otherwhere than Kurzweil. If this is your first version, well, we can hope for fixes, right?

We just keep on plugging away, and creating unchurchy words.

Peace,
Mayrie

Mayrie, I see I have a sympathizer. And, one who occasionally uses unchurchy words yet. Another thing which brings out the unsavery vocabulary, is, when doing rank spelling, Kurzweil will crash now and then, which thrills me no end when I have things almost wrapped up. I wonder of open book users have this kind of trouble.

Hi Jim and Bud,

I think you're right about how long this problem has been around. I never never had the problem with version 9. And I agree, I think they have no idea why it happens, which translates to me that they don't know what they screwed up between versions. I'm not really happy with Kurzweil right now. Can you tell? I commiserate with you guys completely. But, I'm sorry to say, I think I have the corner on unchurchy words. I think my computer is starting to like them.

I wish I had some brilliant solution for your troubles. Instead, I can only offer sympathy.

Peace,
Mayrie

Bud, I think this problem has been around since Kurzweil 10. I'm really wondering if they know what the problem is, I think not. All I know is, it made me say a few unchurchy words yesterday smile. Adult content had to be checked. Smile.

Hi Jim Rawls,

I had the same thing happen a few days ago and don't know what caused it. I was luckier though as I had just scanned a little over 200 pages. Nick gave me some steps to try to retrieve it. They were a little involved but I finally got it done, but it's not very usable after you get it back. A number of pages were damaged and would have to be redone. It would almost be faster to do it over again, but I don't know about your 600 page book. That would be enough to make a grown man cry. I wish we knew what causes it in the first place so we could avoid it in the future. I've been scanning for several years now and I believe that was a first time for me.
Good luck.

Bud

He didn't ask for a copy of the book, but he wanted my error log, and he said that the error log didn't show anything in Kurzweil to cause the problem.

Hi, Jim. Has Stephen asked for a copy of the book? Sometimes he can figure out what's up, thereby making the program better. I've seen that book, and it would be more than discouraging to scan and then have that happen.

Hi all,
As some of you know, Lissi sent out some books to some of us. I am scanning, As Thousands Cheer, the life of Irving Berlin. Well, I scanned this book twice, and still it isn't ready. Each time, I have met the dreaded error message from Kurzweil, the file cannot be opened, its format cannot be determined. I was in the end of rank spelling, and the file wouldn't open. The book is over 600 pages long. I spent hours scanning, and more time in rank spelling, and twice Kurzweil has done me in. I've written Stephen about it, and there isn't any good answer I guess. But it is discouraging for sure. Yes,, I'll scan the book, but right now, I could throw korowai in the trash. Frown.
